SP is Special Project, usually on vehicles under trial and tests by FVRDE, MVEE, or whatever they were called at the particular time.

Incidentally, the crane on the Swedish Stalwarts is not Fomoco, that was the name of Ford spare parts. It is FOCO, which was the trade name of Fabriks AB Forslund & Co., Sweden. Later they merged with HIAB, this was in 1967, so maybe after the Swedish ones were delivered?
